The President is not working on Equium A100-338

Dear forum Support from Toshiba,

I was faced with a problem with my laptop Satellite A100-338.
I'm not able to use on the enclosure. I tried to play audio / video (CD / DVD) but the President is not functional, no sound!

If I connect the headphones, I could hear the sound through it.
Perhaps problemwith aboard the speaker.

Could help me find any control routine to check if the laptop speaker works or not.
As a good setting if some / setting needs to be done to make the speaker works

Please advice!

> Could help me find any control routine to check if the laptop speaker works or not.

To be honest, you have already performed a routine check and found that this problem is not related to a faulty audio driver or sound card.
Due to the fact that your headset is working and you can hear the sound, I guess that your speakers are faulty or the switch inside the headphone jack does not work as it should.

In both cases, the ASP must be contacted because this is related to the material and only the technician could help you.

Good luck

  • Audio driver does not work on Equium A100 (PSAAB)

    Hello

    I bought my laptop a few weeks ago, tried Vista on it for about 2 weeks but decided to change the operating system to my old XP because I did not like that Vista has taken to much power. (Like playing a game from time to time)

    Anyway, the installation went well and I checked the installation instructions on the home page of Toshibas and installed everything that was needed. I also installed the audio driver.

    After the restart there is no sound so I started, I was wondering what could be wrong. Called support and he told me to install 'Virtual Sound. The problem when I install was that I get an error message telling me that my computer do not support virtual sound.

    So my question is: is this the problem? Not getting is not the virtual sound installed or should it works even without virtual sound? It gets boring without sound and I want it to work. Anyone got any ideas what to do?

    Each suggestion or help is very appreciated!
    / Martin

    Hello

    I wonder why some of the support line suggested to install the virtual sound?
    The European driver Toshiba page does not include any virtual sound utility for this laptop Equium A100 PSAAB!
    In my opinion it of not good. You n t need to install this utility.

    I checked the Toshiba page and choose your notebook series PSAAB. I found a lot of XP drivers!
    There are also 2 different audio drivers; 5.10.0.5200 Realtek and Realtek 5.10.0.5253.
    Check both!

    I see that the reference page offers different upgrades of MS QFEs. You must install all!
    Sometimes these update of MS are important and necessary to solve some problems.

    PS; Please install all the drivers in the order mentioned in the Installation Instructions

    It s is not possible to replace the single keyboard of course, you can remove the keys, but this will not help you if the button just does not work.

  • Toshiba Audio/concentrateur USB does not work on Equium A100

    I bought a Toshiba Audio/USB hub in March but only tried to install it today. Nervously, I followed the instructions. My Equium A100-related bits.

    The screen says "new hardware found". The Installation Wizard appeared, I clicked on cancel according to the instructions and inserted the installation disk. This produces a message to the effect that "met a hardware problem and the unit will not operate properly. The hub is now in its box.

    Is there anything reasonable I can do to remedy the situation? I have a Toshiba external connected to the laptop drive.

    Any notice received with gratitude by the novice.

    Hello

    You can try to download the LATEST drivers for this hub, because between March and are NOW many months and many updates have been released.

    Go here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Search for an update and if a newer version is available then take it and try again.

    Otherwise, go to the store where you bought it and try with the replaced hub.

  • Virtual audio driver does not work on Equium A100

    I thought that my problem is solved, but it is not (referring to my other thread)

    I downloaded the audio driver as advised, but he said 'your computer doesn´t support virtual sound '.
    I bought my computer in Spain and changed to XP Professional to get the English language (and I like more Pro).

    I downloaded all the drivers in the download section of satellite in English - all are installed.
    Finally, one is the virtual audio driver is not working.
    Tried the Spanish version, too and it is said the same thing.

    All solutions?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello

    To my knowledge, install drivers in the correct order, if you install the operating system manually.
    It is a prerequisite not if you want to use the Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities.

    I can t believe that it of not possible to install the audio driver.
    XP Home and XP Pro uses the same drivers there is no problem of driver compatibility. I think you should follow the installation guide that you can find on the page of the driver and then install all the drivers as described in the document.

  • Deleted the partition of hard drive on Equium A100-338

    I have a laptop Satellite A100-338 with vista premium installed, age of 2 months.

    I had to reinstall the product recovery disc factory settings worked well all but it seems to me removed WIN RE partition, which I think is data for recovery and diagnosis cannot get that back from the drive of product data and if so what should I do?

    Hello

    Whenever when you use delivered recovery DVD WIN RE partition will be created in front of the first partition (C).

    If you have the second partition (D) on your laptop, it will be also deleted. Unfortunately the procedure of recovery with Vista operating system is not very good as previous WXP. If please be carefula on this subject, as you may lose all the data saved on the D partition.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Equium A100-027

    I have a portable satellite A100-027, I bought in February of this year. I just tried to play my Windows Media Player, but nothing happens when I click on it! It was working fine yesterday, but today it no longer works!

    Can someone help me please?

    I put t know why you are not able to use your Windows media player, but if this software has worked yesterday so why you n t use the system restore option and turn the BONE to this system start?

    I think it s a better way to get Win Media player running.

  • Media Center does not work on Equium A100-147

    Hello
    I have a little problem with my media center. It used to work fine, but recently, I decided to wipe the hard drive.

    I used the boot disk to reinstall windows media center edition 2005. However, when you try to load the Media Center, I get the error message:
    "Your video card or drivers are not compatible with Media Center" and it will not play videos when media center then opens upward.

    Now, I downloaded all the updates that are available from microsoft for windows and I ve downloaded the latest drivers from Intel for the graphic accelerator card.
    I am really at my wits end, Ive used this microsoft program to detect the decoder and it is both compatible with windows media player and windows media center and is set as default.

    I saw on another thread, someone having a similar problem, which was solved by going to "run", type "dxdiag" and enable direct features, however mine was already activated.

    If someone could help me I would be very grateful, thank you for your time.

    It is really strange. Your satellite notebook comes with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and it should work. What kind of videos you want to use. Original DVD movies?

    In any case, using google, you can find a lot of interesting comments for this theme.

    A man simply offers the solution:

    + Just open regedit, then tap on +.
    + HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Media Center\Display parameters +.

    + Then add 2 KEYS to DWORD called DisableDxCheck and DisableDx9CapsCheck and their two values 1 and Media Center should start without problem.

    You can test it.

  • Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

    Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

    In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

    Hello

    In the Toshiba forum you will find here with some nice instructions how to replace a HARD drive on the different laptop models.
    I found a movie that explains how do on Satellite A200.

    Replacing the HARD drive is not very delicate, and the process is similar for all models of laptops.

    The problem is that you need install Microsoft patches before you continue installing the audio driver.

  • Equium A100 - 338 PSAAQE: shortcut keys not working not not after changing Vista to XP

    I recently bought a PSAAQE Equium A100-338. It came preloaded with Vista home premium. I removed what I need XP pro. I found all the drivers to get everything works except the shortcut keys. I tried all the drivers available, but none works. Are there other drivers available for the access keys work.

    Can anyone provide a url to a site where I can get the driver. Also, why are there no XP driver specific available, it took forever to find all those that I needed. I know a lot of it, specialists and companies that will not use Vista and only allow for XP.

    For these features, you have no drivers but Toshiba has designed tools or utilities, but I fear that these tools are not designed for Windows XP Home edition. Not yet.

    I believe you when you say that to many it professionals want to use Windows XP Home edition, but if everything works well, but these buttons are not so important to the features of the laptop and any computer can do its job.

  • Equium A100-338 display has stopped working

    Hello

    I have exactly the same problem on my Equium A100-338 loaded with Vista.
    The display has stopped working (he went to a poorly lit black screen) after I had rebooted my machine even if the computer and the hard drive seems to work Ok with the lights on. I tried the usual elimination of power and the battery and restart it tricks, but after initial success it has stopped working after a few weeks.

    Once I had the computer operation that I only closed it down in the mode 'sleep', and he continued to work for a month until that he should be released after a windows update. I then plugged an external display and use of the Fn + F5 key got the external display running.
    Low and behold, the screen of the laptop started working again as if it had been "energised".

    I took what the laptop screen was OK and that he would not need replacement.
    The laptop worked OK until it needed to restart another when the unrest started again. The screens are gray on the monitor and the laptop now.

    These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    Now, I bought another laptop Toshiba Satellite to connect to the forums trying to find out if my original computer can be repaired
    These problems seem to be quite common on Toshiba computers.

    Any help members would be welcome.

    > These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    For the most part a graphics card driver must be reinstalled or updated to a newer version it can also be a problem of OS which means that the new facility could help
    But try to update the display driver

  • What is the best way to install XP on Vista Equium A100-338

    I want to install XP on my Equium A100-338, who has already installed Vista. What is the best way to do it, I heard a lot of bad luck stories trying to do!
    I do it only as a new software, with that I need to work only works on XP.

    Any help appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion, you must install the XP operating system on the second partition.
    In this case, you can use the two BONES; Vista and XP.

    Using these two s OS has many advantages. For example, you can always test the Vista and the new Microsoft features that are available in Vista and, in addition, you can use the XP if you need to run some programs and applications that are not fully compatible with Vista.

    Then first ask how o create a second partition in Vista.
    Well, this can be done in disk management. Right-click on the my computer drive management made right click on the disk to manage and modify the size of the partition.
    Then the free space on the HARD drive can be activated, and you can create the new partition.

    Then simply boot from Win XP and install it on the second free partition.
    The Toshiba drivers needed should be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

    Good luck

  • Equium A100-338 - Flash memory card does not

    Whenever I have close World of Warcraft, something appears in the upper left corner (looks like it must be a window but only on bar showing) which reads "Toshiba Flash Card (not answer). What can I do to prevent this?

    Im sure he appears during the game as well as I hear a ringing sound.

    I have an Equium A100-338.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    a solution may be turning off the flash card service if Don t you need your USB.

    You can disable it by following these steps:

    -Go to start-> settings-> Control Panel-> administration-> Services tools

    -Make a right click on 'Smart Card' and left click on "Properties".

    -In the window who pop´s you must stop the service and disable it with the "Disabled" choice to the option "Startup Type".

    After that, your flash drive service is disabled and that you won´t get that annoying more errormessage.
    (I hope so: O)
